BRILLIANT MOON: The Autobiography of Dilgo Khyentseby Dilgo Khyentse, forewords by the Dalai Lama, Sogyal Rinpoche, and Dzongsar Khentse, trans. by Ani JinbaDilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910–1991) was one of the most respected and influential Tibetan Buddhist teachers of our age. There was something remarkable about his presence that impressed everyone who met him—a quality of mind that comes across even in photographs. Here is his memoir of a remarkable life of study, teaching, and solitary retreat, told with a wealth of anecdotes and stories. It will be an inspiration to the readers of his numerous books—as well as to all Buddhist practitioners, who will welcome this rare opportunity to hear the experiences of a highly realized being in his own words. The book also provides an authentic view of Tibetan culture and of the hardships endured by the Tibetans after the Chinese takeover. The second half of the book is a treasury of recollections about Khyentse Rinpoche by his wife; his grandson and heir, Sechen Rabjam Rinpoche; and other lamas and friends who knew him well. "It gives me immense pleasure to know that this authentic account of the life and activities of Khyentse Rinpoche, who I am fortunate to revere among my own precious teachers, has been prepared to remind those who knew him and inform those who did not.”—His Holiness the Dalai Lama “Who could ever forget Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche if they had ever seen him? ... There was something universal, even superhuman, about him.”—Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying | |
